The resume touted multiple leadership roles: captain of his basketball team, graduate assistantship and more!He was regularly complimented that his resume was a short story vs. an avalanche of facts or statements.HOW did he land so fast?He was confident in his story.While 11/12 people offering feedback were complimentary, he confidently (and courteously) eschewed advice that he should cut (critical) content from his resume. As well, he moved outside his comfort zone in reaching out to C-level leaders and hiring decision makers through social media and email to get voice and face time.This tenacity, blended with humility and talent, ultimately helped him land a position that he initially was rejected from for not being a perfect match to the job description.This new grads story is another great example of not relying on automated screening systems and getting out there and courteously hustling, putting your face into the wind in job search, whether its early in your career or advanced.~~~Photo via @eternalgr8ness
